NIST SP 800-172vsISO 22301:2019
See exactly how NIST SP 800-172 controls map to ISO 22301:2019. Pre-computed mappings, identified gaps, and coverage analysis.
Need this as a report you can hand to an assessor? A coverage crosswalk for this pair can be built to order.
According to the TheArtOfService Compliance Knowledge Graph:
NIST SP 800-172 maps to ISO 22301:2019 with 17% coverage across 6 directly mapped controls. Analysis of 35 NIST SP 800-172 controls identifies 29 compliance gaps, primarily concentrated in SI.

A NIST SP 800-172 to ISO 22301:2019 crosswalk, built to order
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which ISO 22301:2019 controls your existing NIST SP 800-172 work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.
This direction has not been through crosswalk review and sign off, so no coverage figure is published for it. Reporting an unreviewed number would be worse than reporting none. It can be built to order at the same price as a pair that is already on the shelf.
If the two frameworks turn out to have too little in common for a crosswalk to help you, we say so and refund it rather than send a number worth nothing.

- Every gap, with what it requires
- Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number
Why this page shows two different percentages. The 17% in the header counts how many NIST SP 800-172 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many ISO 22301:2019 controls are actually evidenced, after a pass that argued against each mapping and kept only what survived. They answer different questions and they are not meant to agree.
A crosswalk narrows the work. It does not replace an audit, and your assessor may take a different view on individual controls. Mappings between frameworks are judgements, not text printed in either standard, which is why every claim in the report shows its reasoning. Questions go to support@theartofservice.com.

What are the key differences between NIST SP 800-172 and ISO 22301:2019?
NIST SP 800-172 has 35 controls across its framework, while ISO 22301:2019 covers 57 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 6 overlapping controls (17% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in SI, where 6 NIST SP 800-172 controls have no direct ISO 22301:2019 equivalent.
How many controls map between NIST SP 800-172 and ISO 22301:2019?
Of 35 total NIST SP 800-172 controls, 6 map directly to ISO 22301:2019 controls, representing 17% coverage. The remaining 29 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.
What are the compliance gaps when mapping NIST SP 800-172 to ISO 22301:2019?
29 NIST SP 800-172 controls have no direct equivalent in ISO 22301:2019. The highest concentration of gaps is in SI with 6 unmapped controls. These gaps represent areas where additional controls, policies, or documentation must be created to achieve compliance with both frameworks.
Which control domains have the most gaps between NIST SP 800-172 and ISO 22301:2019?
The domain with the highest gap count is SI (6 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
